Masks and opening the windows seem to be enough to make it safe. The issue is not having air circulation just as much as it is being near people.

I suspect the US loves telling you to wash your hands to distract you from how they've designed all office windows to never open.

They get sued if someone jumps out. Many of thee older buildings that could open have them fixed shut now.

It’s more because of cost/energy savings due to air conditioning.

The issue is people switch to permamently closed windows, but „forget” to track co2, which causes a ton of issues with office work.
